About Imma loxoscia Turner, 1913

Imma loxoscia is a species of moth belonging to the family Immidae. It was first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1913. This species is found in Australia, with recorded occurrences in the Northern Territory and Queensland. Its wingspan measures approximately 18 to 20 millimeters. The forewings are ochreous-white, and are usually dusted with grey scales. There is a grey or fuscous line along the dorsum from the base to one-fourth of the wing length, and a slightly waved, oblique fuscous line running from the costa just beyond the middle of the wing to the dorsum near the tornus. Beyond this oblique line, the base color of the wing is more brownish, and is typically dusted with fuscous scales. A dark fuscous terminal line runs along the edge of the wing; this line narrows below and does not reach the tornus, and its anterior edge has very small tooth-like projections. The hindwings are dark grey.
